#and medieval text has obvious depictions of mental illness like madness
Text
Ancient/Medieval combat trauma (PTSD) in fiction? Any recommendations? Fantasy counts, doesn’t necessarily have to be straight Historical Fiction. Just pre-guns.
#ptsd#cptsd#combat trauma#combat stress#history#I have a handful of non-fiction sources/academic articles to draw on#and medieval text has obvious depictions of mental illness like madness#but the cure is ointment on the head which doesn’t really track#I’m aiming for realism in the aspects of human behavior & psychology#even if there is magic or whatever that’s besides the point representing mental illness#as accurately as possible is not optional#I’ve spoken with veterans but not very deeply as that’s upsetting to them & the modern experience is so different#any examples that resonated would be appreciated
